The Windows 10 product team has established a partnership with the Microsoft Edge team to support process classification in Task Manager. This feature will enable users to identify resource consumption under Microsoft Edge. The classification is broken down to several components such as Tabs, browser processes, utility plugins including dedicated and service workers.
The separate icons are available for each proceeds to enable you to identify favicon for website. However, this feature is available only to those Windows Insiders who are running the latest Microsoft Edge Canary or Dev builds. This functionality will be available only to a small subset of Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel, to begin with. The purpose is to identify issues that could impact performance and reliability.

The Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 21364 brings in Eco mode in Task Manager. With the help of the Eco mode, you will be able to throttle process resources. The mode will help you to identify apps that are already running in Eco mode. The feature will be helpful if you would like to limit the consumption of those apps that are consuming high resources. The system gives priority to other apps, which will ultimately enable faster foreground responsiveness and enhanced energy efficiency.
You need to open Task Manager and click on the Processes tab. The next step is to right-click on a child process or an individual process. You should then click on Eco mode in the context menu to apply throttling. The status column in the Processes tab should show Eco mode for the process. Moreover, the same process also works on the Details tab as well. You can easily expand the process tree to apply Eco mode on one of its child processes.
If Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome is displaying Eco mode as enabled and if you did not apply the mode, then the reason is due to the fact that both Microsoft Edge and Chrome experimenting with lowering base priority. The power efficiency APIs will also be applied to enhance performance. The Eco Mode feature is rolling out to a small subset of Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel to identify potential issues.
